" Speakers used for mids and highs commonly produce between 1% an 5% THD and for subwoofers the numbers can easily reach 10%. This doesn't even take into account all of the resonances of all of the plastic and metal panels in the vehicle. "

Richard Clark has said that an amp driven to 6 DB of clipping is bordering on the audible range.... what happens when you add the 6 DB of amp clipping, 1 % amp THD and 10 % subwoofer THD.... maybe you wouldn't have raised the BS flag if i would have said a number higher than 10%, but as the frequency decreases distortion is less audible and the 10% that i previously stated is conservative, likely it will be much higher before you hear distortion from your sub.

I don't really care what you say, I trust my ears before anything else. Go listen to a high-end home audio setup with low THD numbers and then go listen to something with higher THD numbers. You should be able to tell the difference easily. Damn 10% THD on a subwoofer, I would not even recommend buying any sort of speaker with that high of a THD.

I have listened to countless high end home stereos over the years. Tube amplifiers consistantly measure with higher THD numbers yet always sound better than their lower THD solid state counterparts.
